A large-scale residential development is in the works on the site of the former Monsignor Uyen School.
Later this fall, council is expected to consider a planning application that would see the construction of 160 dwelling units in a row-house-style development in Birdland.
To accommodate the project, council will need to amend C-K’s official plan, as well as change the current zoning bylaw.
Located at 255 Lark St., the project encompasses 4.5 acres. If approved, the former school will be torn down to allow construction to proceed and a total of 210 parking spaces will be created. Lark Street and Partridge Crescent will provide access to the new development.
According to a municipal planning application made by a numbered Ontario company, each unit will have a separate entrance.
It’s still early in the process, but officials expect a public meeting will be held on the matter in September, with the issue to come back to Chatham-Kent council for approval in October.
